FUTURE QUALITY INDEX EXPECTED
In the future, the standards database will include a QUALITY INDEX, a ranking of sorts, for the quality of each AIS ethics standard selected. As the fields and features of the standards and categorical groups grow; a quality rubric of diverse standard components will be shared among volunteers to determine a quality indices and ranking system.
CASE STUDY 1
IEEE-SA is a global standards development organization that is a part of the The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
IEEE and its members inspire a global community to innovate for a better tomorrow through its more than 423,000 members in over 160 countries, and its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities. IEEE is the trusted “voice” for engineering, computing, and technology information around the globe.
With an active portfolio of nearly 1,300 standards and projects under development, IEEE is a leading developer of industry standards in a broad range of technologies that drive the functionality, capabilities, and interoperability of products and services, transforming how people live, work, and communicate.
STATUS
Engineers, technologists and other project stakeholders need a methodology for identifying, analyzing and reconciling ethical concerns of end users at the beginning of systems and software life cycles. The purpose of this standard is to enable the pragmatic application of this type of Value-Based System Design methodology which demonstrates that conceptual analysis of values and an extensive feasibility analysis can help to refine ethical system requirements in systems and software life cycles. This standard will provide engineers and technologists with an implementable process aligning innovation management processes, IS system design approaches and software engineering methods to minimize ethical risk for their organizations, stakeholders and end users.
The P7000 Working Group is working on consensus building still and is also in the process of reviewing the 2nd Draft of the standard.
